Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Matthew Herbert is one of dance music's few real visionaries--a producer who's done to house music what Steve Reich did for classical minimalism, or what Cabaret Voltaire did for electronic experimentation. Second Hand Sounds is a collection of his finest remix work under a variety of pseudonyms--including Doctor Rockit and Herbert and proves that he is one of the most versatile and forward-thinking electronic musicians of his time and this is as good a showcase for his talents as any of his other albums to date. Here, he lends his unique take on house--techno synths here, a dash of off-beat percussion there, a sprinkling of jazz piano--to works by acts as diverse as Recloose, Terra Deva, Seirge Gainsbourg, Two Banks of Four and Presence, along with a smattering of his own tunes. If you've heard either of his classic LPs Bodily Functions or Around The House you'll know what to expect--left of centre dancefloor fusion that pits flexible house dynamics against lush electronica, occasional jazz percussion and dark techno stylings. Whether giving Moloko a sinister makeover, dZihan & Kamien a jazz-breaks overhaul or going all easy listening on Louise Austin's "Hoping", Herbert is always one step ahead of his peers. Sure, it's an album of remixes, but there's more originality on these Secondhand Sounds than on a thousand dull house debut albums.--Matt Anniss

5.0 out of 5 stars Sonic Intellect, And Bedazzling, 6 April 2002
Pure wow, pure flutter - Herbert's deft remixes of the likes of Moloko (pair of insouciant, pert beauties of show), of Furry Phreaks, Dzhian & Kamien, MotorBass are acutely chilled, but not relaxed - they groove onward like a bout of sonic Tourette's Syndrome kept mellow on 60mg of Prozac. And with fresh mixes of Herbert's own output, in various guises, welding the two Cds tighter than Britney Spears' gusset, you wouldn't expect more - but this double album ups the ante on Cd2, becomes more than the sum of its articulate parts. This is angular, lateral and delicious gear to wrap your intellect about and shake your phunky arse at.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surrender, 12 Mar 2003
I've bought "Around the House", "Bodily Functions" and "Secondhand Sounds" and I've come to the conclusion that Mr. Matthew Herbert is one of the most brilliant music minds there is. His albums are just pure invention and delight. And to catch him live is also great. Listen closely.

1.0 out of 5 stars Whats all the fuss about, 3 Feb 2004
By "tintin00" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I bought this album because of the reviews posted here saying this was the work of a musical genius. I dont get it at all despite numerous plays and attempts to listen to the album. I like to think of myself having an eclectic taste in music but this is not on my level at all. Boring monotonous music and I fail to see what all the fuss is about.
